The Wisconsin Music & Memory Program – Student Volunteer Program began in January of 2016 with applications available to the remaining 135 Wisconsin nursing homes who did not obtain Certification during the two prior grant offerings. Up to 50 of the 135 nursing homes were offered the opportunity to participate in the “Student Volunteer Program.” This final report provides an overview of the Wisconsin Music & Memory Program - Student Volunteer Program activities and results. Sincerely, Dan Cohen Executive Director Civil Money Penalty Funds for Wisconsin Nursing Homes The remaining 135 Wisconsin nursing homes that did not obtain the Music & Memory program through the prior Civil Money Penalty (CMP) fund opportunities were invited in the fall of 2015 to become Certified Music & Memory organizations. A cohort of 50 nursing homes could opt to participate in the “Student Volunteer Program” which included additional equipment and collaboration with the Director of Wisconsin Student Programs to engage students in volunteer opportunities. Of the 135, 67 became Certified Music & Memory organizations, 37 of which participated in the “Student Volunteer Program.” 30 Certified Music & Memory Nursing Homes 1 Atrium Post Acute Care of Bloomer, Bloomer 16 Manorcare Health Services West, Green Bay Atrium Post Acute Care of Shawano at Maple Lane, 2 17 Manorcare Health Services – Kenosha, Kenosha Shawano Atrium Post Acute Care of Wisconsin Rapids, 3 18 Middle River Health Care Center, South Range Wisconsin Rapids 4 Bornemann Nursing Home, Green Bay 19 Omro Care Center, Omro 5 Crandon Nursing Home (closed), Crandon 20 Rennes Health and Rehab, De Pere 6 Dallas Care and Rehab, Dallas 21 Rennes Health and Rehab - West, Peshtigo 7 Door County Memorial Hospital SNF, Sturgeon Bay 22 Rennes Health and Rehab, Appleton 8 Dycora Transitional Health, Abbotsford 23 Rennes Health and Rehab, Weston 9 Dycora Transitional Health – Riverdale, Muscoda 24 River Pines, Altoona Eden Meadows Rehab Suites and Green House 10 25 Sheboygan Health Services, Sheboygan Homes, Inc., Oshkosh Frederic Nursing & Rehabilitation Community, 11 26 Southpoint Healthcare Center, Greenfield Frederic 12 Golden Living Center – Silver Spring, Glendale 27 Tudor Oaks Health Center, Muskego 13 Grays Nursing Home, Platteville 28 Turtle Creek Health Services, Beloit 14 Juliette Manor, Berlin 29 Upland Hills Nursing and Rehab, Dodgeville 15 Kinnic Health & Rehab, River Falls 30 Woodlands of Oconto, Oconto 37 Certified Music & Memory Nursing Homes Student Volunteer Program 1 Alden Meadow Park Health Care Center, Inc., Clinton 20 Premier Rehab and Skilled Nursing, Beloit Atrium Post Acute Care of Black River Falls, Black 2 21 Prescott Nursing & Rehab Community, Prescott River Falls 3 Atrium Post Acute Care of Oconto Falls, Oconto Falls 22 Randolph Health Services, Randolph 4 Atrium Post Acute Care of Weston, Schofield 23 Rice Lake Convalescent Center, Rice Lake 5 Attic Angel Place, Middleton 24 Riverview Health Services, Tomahawk 6 Benedictine Manor of La Crosse, La Crosse 25 St. Francis Health Services, Saint Francis 7 Burnett Medical Center, Grantsburg 26 Strum Are Health & Rehab (closed), Strum 8 Edgerton Care Center, Inc., Edgerton 27 Sturgeon Bay Health Services, Sturgeon Bay 9 Fall Creek Valley Care Center (closed), Fall Creek 28 The Bridges of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Good Samaritan Society, St. Croix Valley, St. Croix 10 29 The Villa at Middleton Village, Middleton Falls 11 Grancare Nursing and Rehab Center, Fond du Lac 30 The Virginia Health & Rehab Center, Waukesha 12 Grancare Nursing Center, Green Bay 31 Three Oaks Health Services, Marshfield 13 Hammond Health Services, Hammond 32 Tomah Nursing and Rehabilitation, Tomah 14 Heartland Country Village, Black Earth 33 Villa at Bradley Estates (The), Milwaukee 15 Holton Manor, Elkhorn 34 Villa at River Parkway (The) (closed), Milwaukee 16 Luther Manor, Milwaukee 35 Villa Loretto Nursing Home, Mount Calvary 17 Manorcare Health Services East, Green Bay 36 Wisconsin Dells Health Services, Wisconsin Dells 18 Maryhill Manor, Inc., Niagara 37 Woods Crossing at Woods Point, Brodhead 19 Menomonee Falls Health Services, Menomonee Falls Music & Memory Student Volunteer Program: Overview The Student Volunteer Program connects high school and college students with volunteer opportunities through direct outreach to schools and coordination with Certified Music & Memory® organizations. A dedicated staff member (Director, Student Volunteer Programs) is located in the state, responsible for the outreach and coordination as well as for assisting nursing homes in the establishment and maintenance of their Music & Memory program. Outreach The state approved Brain Health Mini-Unit is utilized as the foundation for the outreach to high school teachers, as well as in the education and engagement of high school students. The Director coordinates with the teachers and engages with Dementia Care Specialists throughout the state. The Dementia Care Specialists are local resources for the teachers and conduits in the promotion of Dementia Friendly Community initiatives, of which schools are a vital component. A concerted effort has been made to engage students involved in HOSA Future Health Professionals with the Student Volunteer Program. HOSA is an international club a student may join in order to prepare for a career in the health care field. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has a staff member who oversees the individual chapters throughout the state. High schools in close proximity to the nursing homes participating in the Student Volunteer Program were identified and if they had a HOSA chapter, were the first point of outreach. If the local high school did not have a HOSA chapter, outreach was made to teachers of health, music, psychology and science as well as those acting in advisory roles to other student organizations such as Key Club, and National Honor Society. Engagement Jenna Wendt and Priscilla Anthony from Wisconsin Heights High School were the first to volunteer at Heartland Country Village in Black Earth in the spring of 2016. In order to highlight their efforts, a feature article was written and posted on the Music & Memory website (http://musicandmemory.org/blog/2016/06/07/167570/) as well as through social media outlets. Jenna expanded beyond her volunteer efforts at Heartland Country Village to form an Alzheimer’s Association WALK team for the 2016 and 2017 WALK in Madison, raising funds for Alzheimer’s disease research efforts. Prior to the start of the 2016-2017 academic year, a presentation was made at the Health Science Institute Conference hosted by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, to health science teachers from across the state, many of which are also advisors for the HOSA chapter at their respective school. Presentations were made at the following schools between January 2016 and December 2017. As this timeframe spanned two academic school years, more than one presentation may have been made at the school. Schools with a HOSA chapter have been noted.
